INSTALLATION __________________________________________________________________ The Sloan FLUSHMATE ® Flushometer-Tank System Fixture installs in the same manner as other water closets. [. . . ] If OK, then check the Flush System by removing the Tank Cover and tripping the Actuator. While the unit is flushing, gently raise the Actuator. Water should flow freely and wash away any debris in the supply line and Vessel. Check the Air Inducer for sufficient air draw. The Air Inducer is designed to draw air during the refill cycle. To test the Air Inducer, place a small amount of water (2 to 3 drops) in the orifice of the Air Inducer cap and flush the toilet. If the Air Inducer is functioning properly the water will be drawn in. If not, it will need to be cleaned and tested again. TO CLEAN AIR INDUCER: (Figures 3 & 4) a) Turn off the water supply and trip the Actuator. b) Unscrew the Air Inducer Cap, clean thoroughly and remove any obstructions. (Hand tighten ONLY) c) Turn on water supply. Wait for the Vessel to refill (30 to 60 seconds). If the Air Inducer does not function properly, replace the Upper Supply Assembly. Check the Flush Valve Cartridge for leaks. Turn the water supply off and drain the Vessel by tripping the Actuator and holding it down until completely drained. Next, pour a cup of water onto the Cartridge Housing area as shown in Figure 5. If a leak is detected (a steady flow of bubbles from the center of the Cartridge Area), the Cartridge should be replaced. Turn the water off and relieve the Vessel pressure by flushing the toilet. Remove the supply line connection to the shank. Remove any obstruction in the supply shank screen. If necessary, you can use a small brush to gently brush the screen. Reattach the supply line to the supply shank and observe connections to assure no leakage. [. . . ] NOTE: Refer to fixture manufacturer's instructions for procedures to winterize bowl. POINTS TO REMEMBER ______________________________________________________ · When servicing any component, the water supply should be turned OFF and the Actuator tripped to relieve the pressure in the Vessel. · The Flush Valve Cartridge Assembly can be removed by inserting the handles of a pair of pliers into the top of the Cartridge and turning counter-clockwise. · It is normal for less than an inch of water to remain in the bottom of the outside China Tank. The FLUSHMATE ® System will automatically recirculate this water with each flush to eliminate any stagnant condition. [. . . ]
